I love the examples but I think, even more, I like the realty of seeing thoughts in process and the permission to just try something for the fun of it!
Thanks Kelly & Kim, a great demo! I bought the solid circles when they first came out - now I want to swap! Love the echo feet - I need them and a glide too!
Wow. Big improvement on the ruler base. Mine is all plastic without the side slots, so it feels like Im going to break it when i install and remove it. Beautiful quilt Kelly. Great seeing you ladies again after learning from you at last years academy. Excellent lesson.
I concur with Karen Ross - I'd like to see some rulerwork demos on the Sweet 16 - Do you realize how many of us own a sweet 16 and not an expensive longarm? Also, your accelerated speed was a little TOO accelerated.. LOL
If you check RU-vid for Sweet Sixteen you will find many videos for using the Sweet and the Capri. We can certainly work on doing another ruler video for the stationary machine. Thank you for your suggestion
Great instruction. When the ruler base is on and you're stitching on the edge of the quilt, how do you keep the ruler base from hitting the quilt clamps?
I agree we need more HQ sweet sixteen videos/demos. We seen them all out there. There are a few great ones with Helen Godden, Jane Hauprich and Debbie Brown. But consider us that have the HQ Sweet Sixteen.
Can you use the echo feet with rulers? To be sure that I'm clear with how Vicky quilted it, did she quilt the circle with her sure foot, change to the echo foot and then quilt around the ruler again to get an accurate echoed circle?
I love your quilts Kelly. I have just purchased a long arm and am super excited to begin quilting with it. I can see myself moving towards modern quilts as they come together more quickly and there is so much negative space! Do you follow patterns for your quilts or are they improvisational?
There are 57 different sizes if you use the echo feet and both gold and silver set of circles. Is there a reason why they changed the the echo feet color to clear? Mine are colored.
I agree, be prepared so it’s not so confusing. Take the time to collect the right tools and don’t try to rush through it and then end up making a generic video. Thanks for the effort though.
Ladies, I love that you make me feel human, but it confuses me when you’re not 100% certain on your feet and stitch line width. I’m all for impromptu and I realize you’re still getting used to this, but please can I ask that you make sure before you record, or edit with correct information?
They should approach their demos as a teacher develops lesson plans. Start with the objective , demonstrate, provide examples, anticipate problems and finally review. These machines cost too much money for demos that lack focus.
@@karenross3457 Exactly, I was thinking the same thing. It does not give me faith in the product when the representatives seem confused and disorganized.
Actually demonstrate instead of talking about what was done in advance. Good rule of thumb is to say what you are going to demonstrate, then demonstrate it. There was so much talking here without much value add content.
